About the event
Psychedelic states of consciousness open the door to remarkable experiences. Despite popular perception, these experiences range from subtle sensory enhancement to profound out-of-body encounters. While the exact mechanisms remain uncertain, one prevailing insight suggests that psychedelics provide deep access to our implicit selves, so-called primary consciousness and the past hidden experiences that have unconsciously shaped us.
Regenerative Consciousness refers to deep healing and transformation through altered states. It emphasises how these experiences activate innate biological, psychological, and spiritual mechanisms, fostering self-awareness, integration, and renewal.
This talk studies collective and individual experiences that induce altered states. We explore the depths of perception, reality, and self-awareness to facilitate personal growth and insight.
We focus in particular on the following:
● Ceremonies - intentional ritualistic gatherings with/without the use of psychedelic substances.
● Psychonautics - personal experience and scientific inquiry into the nature of consciousness through psychedelic substances, meditation, and breathwork.
